Congrats Roni! That is fantastic, I love checking out all the tips and techniques you share. It has been awhile but I think I found your blog while searching for a swap. You had an ATC and charm swap going on, I joined and received some great artwork!

Congrats! What an amazing milestone! I don't remember how I first happened across your blog, but I know I've loved stopping in for the last couple of years, and I wish you all the best in the future! Keep up the amazing work!

Hi Roni! I found you on an Operation Write Home Blog Hop. You had a give-away on the hop and I won it! (it was some stamps) I have been following you ever since and really connected with you when I was asked to join the Club Scrap blog hop. You are such a creative person and well deserving of the 3 million views on your web page! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us! Have a great day!

I found you by chance - someone in one of my yahoo groups mentioned your site so I came to check out your site, loved it and signed up for your email. I have enjoyed seeing your adventures and site almost daily since then. I love when you show ideas and how you used this or that product. This gives me ideas one how to use the few products I have in a different manner. Thank you and congrats on that astronomical milestone. I hope to be a learning member of your site for many years to come. gabriele

What an amazing milestone, congratulations!I have been following you for so long, I really can't remember how I got to your blog. But one of the reasons I stayed was your sharing of so many great techniques. Such a wealth of fabulous information and inspiration.

Congratulations!!! I'm not surprised though and I would like to take credit for a lot of those page visits . I've been crafting for just over one year and you were the first inspiration I found. I saw one of your Altoid tins and was just amazed at what was possible. I had to run to the warehouse store and buy a big box of Altoids. I've been trying to copy you ever since Right now I've been going over all your domino posts and getting so knowledgeable I'm scaring myself - LOL. Thank you so much for the inspirations, the techniques and the fun you've shared. You really do make this a community.

Huge congrats, Roni! It has been so long since I started visiting here, I honestly can't remember how I found you! But I bookmarked your blog right away so I wouldn't lose it! Many more happy years of blogging ahead!

Huge congrats Roni!I can't remember when or how I found you hun. I know that I followed shortly after starting to blog three years ago. I used to visit but not say anything for quite a time. I think it was one of your tutorials that I found on someone else's blog firstly or it may have been I am so glad that I did!

Your tutorials are brilliant and you are a true lady crafter because you share how you created your glorious projects. I've learn't so many techniques, how to work with what I've got and to experiment more all of these I have learn from you: therefore HUGE THANK YOU!!!

I hope to catch up with your wonderful MM tutorials soon but my back is playing up badly again which is when I struggle to create anything let alone learn tips and techniques! Big up and big congratulations to you Roni - you deserve it! Karen x

I love seeing your beautiful things and aspire to be a better artist with your inspiration! Thank you for offering your wonderful things!

Huge congratulations! 3,000,000 page views is an amazing accomplishment. I'm not surprised, though, as your blog is always so full of inspiration and information.

About 4 or 5 years ago, I joined a Ning groups called RosesOnMyTable, there was a creative group in there called Arches. And guess what? The team leader at the time used your templates( I believe with your permission) to introduce us to the land of creating arches! I came right over to your blog-this was actually the first blog I was ever on!! How do you like that?!! And at that point, I fell in love with blogs and posts, and all of the wonderful creative tutorials and art pieces you shared! That's the whole true story!! So,Roni, you were very instrumental in getting my muse moving into a new artful direction!! Thank you and again- huge congrats to you!!xo

Congrats on the 3 Million page views Roni. I found your blog a few years ago. Don't remember what I was looking for though. Became a follower right then and there. Love all your tutorials. I also love that you show alot of different products and how to use them. You explain the how to's to where I can understand it.

Here's to 3 million more views and the power and freedom of crafting. Thank You!

I found your blog thru checking others. It's been so long ago, that I've forgotten which blog had your link, but I signed up to receive your daily postings and have diligently read them each day. I so enjoy your techniques and tutorials, Roni!! Congrats on the 3 million views!

Congrats on three million views. That is a milestone for sure. I found your blog through a search engine. I don't remember what technique I was looking for but I started reading your posts and have been hooked ever since. I love trying out the techniques as well as some of the products. Thanks for sharing!

Yikes! Three million page views....how awesome!! I first "met" you through the About. Com Scrapbooking Forum and am proud to say that I knew you when!! (before you had your blog and were a published author...woot woot!!!). So happy to have watched you over the years become such a wonderful artist and to see you share your talents and techniques with those of us in blogland. You introduced me to the Tim Holtz Distress applicator AND the Signo White Gel pen...two of my favorite products! Here's tot he next three million posts!

Yay, how awesome! I found your page a while back while searching for info on some stamping technique. It's been a while so I can't remember which technique but you are definitely queen of techniques! I love all the techniques. It's the variety I like, that leeps me coming back. You are always there trying out different things

Oops didn't realize needed to do more than just comment..... Found you four years ago thru a bloghop with LeslieRaye(spelling). I don't remember the theme but the very next week I signed up for the first of many charm swaps with you! discovered your etsy store and now have lots of goodies from there. Thanks for sharing so many cool techniques with us!

I first found you through a blog hop a couple of years ago. Now I check your site almost every day. On the weekends I go back into the archives and play with some of the many fun techniques there. Congratulations on such an amazing milestone!!!

Congratulations on reaching that amazing count. As I do not get craft supplies here, I tend to enter giveaways. If I win, I have it mailed to US or Canada so that I'll surely receive it & quench my passion for crafting. Found some giveaway posted on Nikki's blog I think & landed here. Went through your tutorials, which seemed interesting so subscribed to your posts as well. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

What a milestone for you, congratulations! I found your blog through my Mom who told me run...not walk...over to check it out! I am still a fairly simple crafter but I love learning new techniques so your blog has been a great educational source for me. Even when I don't actually try a technique, I like to see the effect and tuck it away for when I have more time. I love the variety of projects that you show and the product reviews especially! Thanks for the chance to win this bright and cheery tote filled with goodies!! Happy springtime to you!

I can't recall when I found InkStains, but I do know I found it shortly before I started my blog - I used to belong to an ATC Yahoo group and I am sure I found you through someone's post. I love your tutorials, your inspiring projects and the fact that it feels as though we are hanging out together, making art. Your down to earth style makes it a pleasure to come by and read your latest posts. Your amazingly talented and I signed up to follow you via email as soon as I found you. Huge congratulations on your milestone - you certainly deserve the page views.
